What if the greatest achievement of your career wasn't founding a company, but having the courage to undo it?
Erin Gallagher had checked every box of success: she co-founded a company that broke a 93-year funding record, earned Fast Company’s "Most Innovative" title, and worked with global giants like McDonald’s and United Airlines. Yet, at age 40, she realized she was "abandoning herself" to serve others’ ambitions.
In this powerful conversation, Erin and Larry Weidel dive into the reality of the "entrepreneurial metamorphosis." Erin explains how she transitioned from 15 years of corporate "rule-following" to launching "The Fairway"—a dinner series that bypassed traditional business barriers and increased collective wealth by over $33 million. From handling "toxic" critics to the internal stamina required to write a 70,000-word book, this episode is a masterclass for anyone ready to stop "crawling" and start "flying."
What You’ll Learn:
Erin Gallagher is an author, speaker, and the founder of Hype Women, a movement and solopreneur business dedicated to breaking systemic barriers and reclaiming power for women in business. With over 15 years of experience in corporate marketing and PR agencies, Erin transitioned into entrepreneurship in 2019. She co-founded a majority women-owned business that received historic investment from Interpublic Group and was recognized by Fast Company as one of the world's most innovative companies. Erin is the author of Hype Women: Breaking Free from Mean Girls, Patriarchy, and System Silencing You, which features a forward by Jamie Lee Curtis. She is renowned for creating "The Fairway," a series of curated dinners that brought together Fortune 500 executives and rising entrepreneurs, resulting in a collective wealth increase of over $33 million.
